On December 20, 2023, Lucknow Mayor Sushma Kharkwal and Municipal Commissioner Inderjit Singh said that a new cow shed will be built on the lines of Switzerland in Uttar Dhauna village.

Key Points

• It may be noted that this proposal was passed in the Lucknow Municipal Corporation Executive meeting. At the same time, 13 proposals were passed, including making the shooting range of the Municipal Corporation of international standard.
• It will be developed on 10 hectares of land under the cow tourism policy of the Uttar Pradesh government. Rs 32.63 crore will be spent on this. The name of this cow shed will be ‘Manoratha’ cow shed. About two thousand cows can be kept here.
• Cows will not be kept tied in this cow shed. There will be a maximum open area in which they can roam and graze. Only milch cows will be kept in the cowshed. A glimpse of Indian culture will be visible in the cowshed.
• Cows will be given a natural environment in the cow shed. The entire field will remain raw. There will be a field there for them to graze. With this, there will be no need to pick up the cow dung. The dung will dry in the same field and become manure.
• The Gaushala will be developed in such a way that it also becomes a center of tourism. For this, a cow museum and slaughter place will be built. Arrangements for Annapurna restaurant, pathways, parking, landscaping will be made. Employee accommodation, veterinary hospital and sewerage-drainage work will also be done.
